      Hey Scotty. I'm a machinist that makes bearings. After the heat treat process, they normally have a minimum tolerance of RH 60 (give or take, depends on the bearing). They usually fall in between 62 - 63. I won't go into what the RH scale means but they are *extremely* hard steel and certainly not the 'softest portion of the engine' as you stated at around 4:00.

    I bought my Earth Dreams 1.5 liter CRV in 2017. Yes, I smell the gasoline in the oil, and while it concerned me when the car was new, I no longer have concerns as at 90,000 miles I use no oil between changes and continually get over 37 mpg. I use only Honda oil filters and full synthetic Castrol 0w-20. I did install a oil catch can in the vacuum line between the PCV valve and the intake manifold, but I don't catch any oil, mostly just a small amount of gas in the winter. During summer, it gets hot enough apparently to boil off the small amount of gas in the catch can. I have had no problems whatsoever with the vehicle in the past 7 years and have no interest in getting rid of it.

      Some people think they need a new A/c compressor because it stops getting cold while cars going uphill or accelerating! The truth is that it’s NORMAL!!!
      A/C pulls so much power from the engine that if your really hard foot on the gas the ac will blow warm air cuz it gets shut off to give the engine more power!! But once you level out the foot off the gas pedal the a/c will come blowing cold again!

    The 1 thing I love about the Toyota Prius CVT trans is the more POWER button! And yes it most def makes a huge difference from stop to go quickly..with that more power on when u accelerate from dead stop. And the CVT seems more quiet also!
    I still prefer the manual transmission. But Honda did away with those on the accord in 2019 and the base model civic in 2022..
    Now the racing/sporty version of the civic is only one that has manual by request.
    Other wise it comes with trip tonic paddle steering wheel shifter automatic…

    There's always TOO MUCH slippage in a CVT transmission. Don't buy a car with one, or any car with a twin turbo engine. I guess now, avoid the Earth Dream engine in Hondas. Never buy a car with an engine cylinder deactivation system, or one with the stop engine feature that activates when you come to a stop. All bad features.

    Even Honda dealers will tell customers that it’s a head gasket problem and that it’s not covered under warranty because gaskets are not covered under the warranty and fine print !!!! But the truth is, it’s the piston rings and it’s an engine design issue which should be covered under the warranty and the manufacturer for the design flaw!!!

    I wonder if a manual transmission in the same civic would get as good mileage as the CVT assuming you drive them similarly. I have driven manuals all my life and my last vehicle was a choice between a RAV4 and a Subaru Forester. I ended going with the Subaru because it still has 3 pedals and it's just more fun to drive, for me anyway.

    Had first bought an 03 Honda Odessey for the wife only because it had a DVD player to entertain the kids. Wasn't aware of all the issues then but I gave it basic maintenance and it was a great van. Put about 86k when wife sold it to a friend. She regretted it later and i purchased an 06 Odessey for her. Really had about the same results, better than average fuel mileage, few maintenance problems (only changed the radiator) and kept up the basic maintenance. I was surprised after watching this section on the Odessey of the issues. I guess being somewhat ignorant of things cause no issues. If there's another Odessey in my future, I'm gonna check all the points Scotty mentioned.

    I had a 2018 honda accord exl 1.5t.
    Vehicle overheated with all dash lights on.
    Engine blown had to be rebuilt, new turbos and radiator.
    Gas and coolant in engine.
    Engine had to be rebuilt, radiator, fuel injectors, and turbo replaced.
    This happened regardless of all scheduled maintenance being done on time at Honda.
    10,000 usd later(7000.00) covered by Honda Care.
    I traded the vehicle in immediately.
    Would stay from any Honda with a 1.5t.

    That’s why I got a 2016 with 2.0 NA and manual transmission. Haven’t had anything wrong on drivetrain EXCEPT the AC. Honda needs to improve their AC design since they leak toooooo fast.

    Scotty what will it take for you to accept the Honda cvt transmission? i own a 2022 Honda Civic Sport with 2.0 liter fully aspirated 4 cylinder engine with a cvt transmission. it rides and feels great. i mostly drive it around town here in East Lansing, Michigan at lower speeds. when and how often do you recommend i drain and fill the transmission fluid

    I ha 2017 CRV And I am very happy with it. I don’t smell gas when I pull the old stick. I’ll replace the oil every 5000 miles. He got 70,000 miles on it and he works like a champ. Maybe just because I live in South Florida.
    Replaced the transmission fluid every 30,000 miles. I have no complaints, so I don’t know what you’re talking about Scott

    • @KeNyBoYzZ
      @KeNyBoYzZ Před 10 dny

      I think because the 2016-2020 Honda’s reliability wasn’t the same as the previous cars. These issues occur with other manufacturers regularly. I guess it goes against their image of being a super reliable car.
      My 1.5T Civic 2018 is still running like a champ but these Hondas do need more maintenance than previous gen’s.

    Nothing wrong with changing the timing belts, Water pump and other few things every 100,000 miles, Way less money time and labor over bad chain's, Hell Toyota can't even build the new V6 right last time I checked, All I'm saying Toyota has Quality control problems just as many or more last time I checked, I think You missed a Toyota Vehicle or two, Haven't seen real problems coming from Toyota yet on your channel, Maybe check the forum's a little once in while 😮.😁

    High efficiency engines run just as hot as old designs. Dont produce as much heat because they are more efficient. Have quit expecting Scotty to understand such distinction.

      You must not keep them long enough to have issues. Some of us drive our vehicles until they die. However, every Honda and Toyota I have ever purchased is still on the road (I give my cars to family members after about 15 years). I have had to "retire" a Ford, Mazda, and Hyundai because they became unrepairable.

    On a diesel engine high psi was developed 50 years ago. If Honda were "burning lean" or in a correct 14 to ratio it would have burned all the fuel. Not sent unburned gas to the oil pan. Wasted fuel in the pan leads to dry engine bearings, scored cylinder walls. Sue the hell out of Honda if you have one.

    I had to do oil change on my 2 Crv at 3000 miles because the oil was very dark and it was smelling like hell. Bring them to the dealer, they did software update, did absolutely nothing. The guy told me not to worry i still have warranty. Told him that both engine won't last very long with the kind of maintenance they propose and that they are likely to die soon after the warranty expire
    Guy laugh at me and told me i wasn't an expert and that i should trust Honda and to do oil change the way they recommend and that the gaz smell is normal on both crv loll
    Brought back the 2 CRV, Honda lost me as a client for life. I've been an hardcore fan of honda engine all my life but these modern engines aren't made to last, better stick with old school honda engine
